Oquirrh Pride Award

Ok so I got a letter in the mail from Jordyn's principal, letting me know that Jordyn would be recieving the Oquirrh Pride award at their awards assembly. It's a secret from the child and I was invited to come and attend it. She looked so cute and was so happy she got it.
Miss Mae, I am so proud of the little girl that you have become and the hard worker that you are. The comments that your teacher, Mr. Squire, said about you is amazing. It's great to hear from someone else how wonderful, smart and talented you are. I am proud of your kind heart and how you have listened to the words I tell you almost everyday, "Be a friend to everyone". You truly are a great friend to everyone and your little stories you come home and tell me just proves that. Mommy and Daddy love you so much and are proud of you for getting this award!

Here is what her teacher had to say about her........

"This month, Mr. Squire hardly had to think at all about who deserved the Oquirrh Pride Award. Jordyn is always on task--meaning she always listens when the teacher speaks, she always follows directions, and she thinks before she does or says anything. Jordyn always raises her hand in class, comes up with great questions, and is nice to everybody she meets. She is an excellent reader. She's reading like a second grader and has already moved up five guided reading levels since the beginning of the year. She has passed off all of her first grade sight words (and she's almost done with the second grade words). Jordyn works hard every minute that she is at school, and it shows!! She is very good at math. She has nearly passed off all of her math facts, and gets very high scores on her math tests. She does very well in school because she works hard and is an excellent listener. Thanks for being such a good student, Jordyn. You are kind to others and you always use your super student skills. You make Mr. Squire's job exciting and fun, Thank you for being such a good student, and keep up the great work!"

Doesn't that just bring tears to your eyes?! Ok, it does mine because she is my little girl! It was a great day!!!
